Mexican teenager Carlos Vela has set his sights on being a 'warrior' for Arsenal this season.
In May, Vela was finally granted clearance to play for The Gunners following three separate loan spells in Spain.
And the 19-year-old forward believes the time he spent abroad will ensure he hits the ground running when he finally begins his career at Emirates Stadium.
Young Gunner: Carlos Vela will finally line up for Arsenal this season
'My stay in Spain helped me to make the jump to the Premier League,' Vela said. 'Now, I am stronger on the field and more mature.
'I am not scared of the Premier League - I will train hard and fight for a chance in the Arsenal squad. I want to be a warrior for the team.
'I'm not thinking about failure. I'm happy to be here and I just want to help the team'
